Butcher Billy was just a kid when he first realized he was no ordinary sack of flesh. Back then, he was already unstoppable with just a pack of crayons in his tiny hands - no walls were safe. It's that sort of rule-breaking, devil may care, chaotic attitude that inspires Billy's art. It is this unique style that has led him to working with ESPN, Foot Locker, Michael Jordan and more.

The main objective of Eoin’s artwork is to create something an individual can connect with on a personal level. Although constantly moving, questioning, learning, experiencing, Eoin has always had a fascination with the relativity of time, space and the physical form. This fascination has led him to the point of questioning what is relevant as a product of 'art' - is the 'artwork' the process the artist undertakes in discovering a visual representation of an ideal inside them? Or is the 'art' the finished object which somebody can see, touch, smell, feel in the physical form?

Myne is an artist living and working in Dublin. He has been painting graffiti since 1997. Alongside letter-based graffiti, Myne paints abstract images that fuse elements of the organic, natural world and the rigidity of man-made structures and architecture. Elements of our actual surroundings become abstracted through a Science Fiction-flavoured filter where colour and form become the focus of the works, presenting an ambiguous image which allows the viewer to form their own interpretation.

"My main interest in photography is to document adventures, to capture a series of images that I am the able to combine to create a visual story. My personal preference lies in surfing, especially when it involves surfing in colder, harsher destinations, like Iceland's beaten coastline and the rugged reefs and inlets dotted around the UK and Ireland. When I'm photographing cold-water surfing I often finding myself in harsh, challenging conditions, pushing my boundaries. This type of surfing enables me to experiment most as a photographer and lets me really get creative with whatever the elements are throwing my way."

"As a Dublin born photographer I really struggle to place myself within a genre. I shoot a lot of models and work with a lot of stylists, make-up artists whose styles and influence help me broaden my own work, but I have never felt my work really fit into fashion or editorial genres. Fashion photography is inherently about the clothes and my work is inherently about the person. Whether it’s an editorial or a series of portraits for people, my work keeps the same emotional level."

Years of improvised parties, of going nuts in the wee hours of the morning, of trips out into the countryside, of pure happiness with friends and fleeting moments with strangers; all these ephemeral moments that are gone as quickly and are as intense as the light from my flash. Shot live with a small analog camera, those moments are captured on film and forgotten in the reel until development brings them back to life.
